Feeling Warm

 Ever since my knee replacement surgery, I have had a difficult time regulating my body temperature,  maybe because I have to ice my knee most of the day and all night. You can find me sitting on the couch wearing a sweater and with a blanket over me for most of the day. I have 3 blankets on my bed and I still get chills at night.

My Sister-in-law, Susan gave me a gift the other night during our Stott Brother's Get-together at our house. She does a lot of crocheting and knitting and she made me this beautiful hot water bottle cover. The gift included a water bottle as well.

She says that she has a hard time staying warm in bed during the winters around here and uses one every night. 

The interesting thing is that she wasn't even aware that I have been having trouble regulating my body heat since my surgery - but God knew, and he inspired Susan to gift one to me. She uses a special yarn (wool and alpaca) that helps retain the heat of the hot water. I started using it the night it was given to me. The next morning, the water bottle was still warm. That simply amazes me.

Thank you, Susan for this gift of the heart. Best gift ever!!!
